Chapter 143: She's Just Bait
From the time she first entered the palace, Jing'er has been serving by her side.
At that time, I was not very familiar with the East Palace, so Xin'er and Jing'er led the way in front, and took her all the way to the territory of Hanxian Palace, and impartially collided with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was in the palace.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that one of them deliberately led her there, and that person is very likely to be Jing'er.
Because the next day, Xin'er was sent to Xiaoshuang's Hanxian Palace, and she was tortured, obviously because Jing'er was unharmed is the biggest flaw.
Why are both of them present and she has nothing to do?
The only possibility is that Jing'er sold Xin'er.
Next, he had a cold war with His Royal Highness, and in the months when they both stayed in the cold palace, Yanxi went out of the palace to buy congratulatory gifts and was attacked by someone, and disappeared without a trace.
After that, it was time to prepare for His Royal Highness's birthday banquet, and Jing'er was transferred away from her side by Xiaoshuang on the grounds of insufficient manpower.
At that time, she only cared about being angry with Shen Mushi, and didn't ask much.
Jing'er has been gone for several days, and then there is Meixiang.
Now that I think about it carefully, there are too many clues to be found.
First of all, how can a maid be able to mobilize the personal palace maid around the crown princess?
If it weren't for the inner thief and the outer ghost, how could she be on the road?
Or is Jing'er secretly trying to find a way to get out of the cold palace?
On that day, I "encountered" Jing'er again in the corridor, and while pitifully telling how she was wronged by the eight-grade female official, wasn't it just to make her soft-hearted?
Why does Jing'er want to return to her like this? What is she asking for?
Both of them really can't figure it out.
After finishing grooming, he walked out of the dormitory, and both beckoned Yanxi to come over for questioning.
"Wild goose."
Both looked sideways at him.
"The person who attacked you last time, but Jing'er?"
Shuangshuang had thought before that Yan Xi was His Royal Highness's person, where was it so easy to be sneak attacked.
Unless the person behind the back is a person who is particularly familiar with Yanxi, he will be defenseless.
Yan Xi raised her head, and there was a dark light in her eyes: "Yes." β
"Why don't you say it!"
The eyes suddenly burst into sparks, glaring at him fiercely.
Yan Xi saw the crown princess so sharp for the first time, bowed her head and said cautiously: "At that time, the slave was hit hard in the back of the head and lost his memory, and later learned that Jing'er also returned to the East Palace, and all His Highnesses ordered the slave to return to ......."
"Shut up!"
Shuangshuang suddenly interrupted Yanxi, unwilling to listen any further.
"So, you all hide it from me and let Jing'er walk around me......"
His Royal Highness is introverted, waiting for work at ease in everything and taking precautions.
Keeping Jing'er by her side, Bacheng had long suspected that she was a fine worker.
I just want to catch the big fish behind me.
And I'm the bait.......
Shen Mushi thought that he could protect her, but people were not as good as heaven.
Jing'er is afraid that from the beginning, she planned to lead their husband and wife to the wall, causing her to lose her heir......
Now to make up for the dead sheep and use the water prison to Ling Chi Jing'er, just to vent his anger, right?
She was filled with pathos, and a dull pain hit her head, completely shattering her last glimmer of hope.
Jing'er is an orphan girl who enters the palace, helpless, except for some small means to climb up, why do you want to harm her?
Unless it was the collusion of other princes and princesses, but His Royal Highness stumbled in front of the horse and killed his own children with his own hands.
Among them, there are also their own soft-hearted problems that will be exploited by others.
She thought that if she killed Xin'er and Jing'er, she would have less hatred in her heart, but now that she knows, she doesn't know who to hate......
"Prepare a sedan chair, I want to see her."
Both stroked their foreheads tiredly, and slowly stood up to change clothes in the inner room.
Lu Yi cautiously walked in with her weak body, looking at her really bad, she couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, can your body stand it?" β
They didn't speak, and there was only determination in their eyes.
The reason why the water dungeon is terrible is not just to soak in cold water overnight, but to be locked underground and not see the light of day.
Jing'er soaked in it all night with her injuries, and her whole body was already cold and stiff. But after the sun rose, staring at the scorching sun and suffering from the sun.
The iron grille was scorched by the heat, and a layer of skin peeled off her neck.
Her fingers were tightly embedded in the iron grate, and her consciousness began to wander, frequently remembering how much she had suffered and been trampled on when she first entered the palace, and she could not survive several times.
Her parents died and she was sold into the palace by her aunt as an official maid, and her life was only one or two pieces of silver.
She used to be a child of a pure white family, and it was only because she was helpless because of her identity as an orphan girl that she was humiliated by those eunuchs and bullied by those palace maids with family backgrounds.
Six years old, she is only six years old, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't know anything, step by step to the present, and only she knows the sadness in the middle.
She dreams of getting ahead, and if she can't be a master, she must at least be a female official, even if the female official is a slave, she is superior.
She has been waiting for an opportunity, for the person who saved herself.
It wasn't until he was sent to serve the princess, who was not favored at the time, and gained the trust of his mother step by step, that life began to get better.
But because of the exhaustion of the organs, it ended up like this......
Now that his strength is exhausted, he knows that he can't survive tonight, and even if he has the heart to die, he is numb and bent because his fingers are clenched on the iron grate, and he can't open it.
You can't survive, you can't die.
It was only at this moment that Jing'er deeply realized the prince's viciousness.
groggily licked the dry skin of her mouth, Jing'er was tortured and out of breath.
It wasn't until a pale red figure covered the sun that she slowly raised her head.
The shade of the canopy fell overhead, and both of them in red clothes rode in a soft sedan chair, allowing people to crowd to the water prison. Shuangshuang ordered a basin of cold water to be poured over Xin'er's head. The sun was dazzling, and it took a lot of effort to see the person clearly.
Shuangshuang's face looked even paler in the bright red outfit, and the inky pupils stared at her quietly with a chill and unfathomable emotion.
"Mother, wronged ......"
Jing'er's lips were chapped, and she licked the cold water on her lips, but she was still dumb when she opened her mouth.
"Are you worthy of me?"
This is the only question they asked.
Although I don't know how many evil things Jing'er has done, they both guess that Jing'er probably doesn't know how much she has found out, and this sentence is just a lie to her.
Sure enough, this sentence fell into Jing'er's ears like thunder. Her body shook, and her neck was once again so hot that she opened her mouth to scream, but she couldn't make a sound.
Jing'er looked at Shuangshuang with a shrunken heart, and began to be afraid.
The tone of the crown princess was very different from the past, completely lacking the warmth and tenderness of the past, and her whole body exuded resentment and indifference.
Jing'er didn't know what Shuangshuang had found, if she wanted to punish herself and make her more painful, it would be better to kill her directly!
"Niangniang, the slave didn't mean to hurt the heir!"
Jing'er opened her mouth and begged: "If the mother thinks it's all the slave's fault, then kill me with a knife!" I can't stand it! β
Having said that, Jing'er still hoped that the crown princess could rescue her.
Since Niangniang is willing to come to see her, it means that there is still a glimmer of life, with Niangniang's temperament, as long as she begs her hard, she will be soft-hearted, and there will definitely be a way to live......
Both looked at Jing'er's painful look and didn't react at all.
Yes, it's painful for her to be locked up in a water prison right now, but what about her!
The child is gone, and I can't have children in the future! Forever deprived her of the right to be a mother!
I don't dare to die, I am alive and painful!
staggered off the soft sedan chair, shook off Lu Ling's hands, and came to Jing'er step by step.
"Survival or death, which is more difficult?"
Shuangshuang leaned over and grabbed Jing'er's hair, forcing her to look up at herself: "But you can't stand it overnight, so what is my torture in the past few days!" β
"Mother, not a slave! I didn't poison it! I didn't get any flattery either! I don't want you to slip tires! Slaves are just, slaves are just ......"
It was about the scalp being torn and hurting, or the heart was weak, and Jing'er's voice was trembling.
Both of them sank their faces.
She didn't mention it, but mentioning it made her even more unhappy.
Pulling Jing'er's hair tightly, Shuangshuang's tone became more and more cold:
"How are you? You just want to borrow my hand to get rid of the core, don't you? Xin'er caught your pigtails, let's hear it! β
"Mother's ......"
Jing'er was secretly surprised by the princess's aggressive appearance, and her mouth opened and closed.
She didn't dare to tell the truth, she was afraid that if she did, she was really broken here.
Shuangshuang didn't wait for Jing'er to answer, and asked in a negative voice: "Jing'er, you tell the truth, don't I treat you well?" β
Jing'er stared at her eyes for a while, and found that the original gentle woman was now only left with pain and resentment.
Lowering his eyes weakly, he replied with a sneer: "Good, excellent......"
"Then why do you treat me like this! Do you dare to say that you didn't unite with Xiaoshuang to calculate me? You deliberately left in the name of the birthday banquet and replaced Xiao Li in, do you dare to say that this is not what you did! β
Both roared angrily, their eyes blazing like clusters of flames burning.
"Mother, no, no! The slave maid did not unite with the little frost...... The slave did this, just to pull Xiaoshuang down, I want to help you, Niangniang! β
Jing'er's mouth was dry, and she only felt that every word she said was like a knife cutting her throat.
"Hahaha, help me? Why do I need your help! Do you really think that I am weak and incompetent, and I must rely on you to survive! Which onion are you! β
Both laughed, and the laughter was extremely ironic.
Concubine Xian Niangniang once warned herself that her family background and appearance had an advantage over anyone else.
As long as she serves His Royal Highness well, no matter how many women will come into the East Palace in the future, she will always be the crown princess.
How can a small frost shake the status of the crown princess?
Even if Her Royal Highness falls in love with someone else today, with the strength of her Lu family, how dare Her Highness abolish her position as the crown princess?
Is it because he doesn't fight or grab, and lets others bully, that will make the minions around him feel cold, so that he makes a big mistake in this move.
It's her fault, it's all her fault........
"Jing'er, do you know?"
Shuangshuang let go of his hands, slowly stood up, and said word by word to the people in the water prison: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, I don't have any requirements for keeping you by my side, as long as you are loyal." Yes, I am not strong enough, but I also swear to myself that as long as I am here, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life. Now it seems that I was naΓ―ve........."
